问题
In my iOS application I use Core Data to store data and a fetch request to create an array of NSManagedObject
s to display in a UITableView
.
On the Watch OS I check if WCSession
is supported and active a session, then send the iOS application a message from the watchOS extension.
When the iOS application receives the message from the watchOS it should send the array of Objects
to the watchOS extension to display the data in the WKInterfaceTable
, but I am unsure how to do this. Ultimately what I am trying to achieve is;
How to share the array of
Objects
with the watchOS extension?If the user adds/edits/deletes objects in the array on the Watch, how can we update the data on the iPhone ?
Also, the iOS application is embedded within a
UITabBarController
so does it matter which view controller I communicate with?
Watch OS FavouritesInterfaceController
var session : WCSession!
override func willActivate() {
// This method is called when watch view controller is about to be visible to user
super.willActivate()
//Check if session is supported and Activate
if (WCSession.isSupported()) {
session = WCSession.defaultSession()
session.delegate = self
session.activateSession()
}
}
override func awakeWithContext(context: AnyObject?) {
super.awakeWithContext(context)
// Interface Objects
//Send Message
sendmessagetoiphone()
}
func sendMessageToIphone() {
if(WCSession.isSupported()){
session.sendMessage(["b":"goodBye"], replyHandler: nil, errorHandler: nil)
}
}
IOS Application : FavouritesViewController
var objects = [Objects]()
func loadData() {
let moc = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate).managedObjectContext
let request = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "Objects")
request.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "date", ascending: true)]
do {
try
self.objects = moc.executeFetchRequest(request) as! [Objects]
// success ...
} catch {
// failure
print("Fetch failed")
}
}
func session(session: WCSession, didReceiveMessage message: [String : AnyObject], replyHandler: ([String : AnyObject]) -> Void) {
//handle received message
let value = message["Value"] as? String
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
self.messageLabel.text = value
}
//send a reply
replyHandler(["Value":"Hello Watch"])
}

How to share the array of Objects with the Watch OS Extension ? Since you are using
WatchConnectivity
framework, send the array of objects from iPhone usingsendMessage
method and in yourFavoritesInterfaceController
implement thefunc session(session: WCSession, didReceiveMessage
method in order to get the response or you can get the array in replyhandler to.If the user adds/edits/deletes objects in the array on the Watch OS how can we update the data on the iPhone ?
Send the objectId along the with new changes in your
sendMessage
method from watch to phone, on receiving on phone made the changes in your database save it and send the updated value in your replyHandler so that your watch content will be updated accordingly.Also the iOS application is embedded within a UITabBarController so does it matter which view controller I communicate with ?
You desired viewController to which you are communicating OR the one that is responsible for doing changes should be alive. If multiple ViewControllers are listening to
WCSessionDelegates
then when you send any message from watch all of the live controllers will receive that message. You should include some kind ofidentifier
in yoursendMessage
dictionary so you can know which operation to perform. Like if you want todelete
an object then whenwatch
sends a message theidentifier
will containdelete
so that on receiving you can check theidentifier
value and perform thedelete
operation.

You can use the replyHandler in the sendMessage to do this. Make sure you implement the reply handler on both Watch and iOS App to get this.
Basically, if you get it right, your reply handler can ensure what your iOS app does in response for a watch app's message.
Also, speaking of your response (of sending an array of objects) - you should send it as a dictionary and fetch it on the watch.

First of, this is a really good question. For starters I'd recommend that you watch this session from the WWDC 2015: Session 713 - Introducing Watch Connectivity. This can be found here.
Now to your actual question. There is a great tutorial and Github repo that show you how to communicate Core Data between your Apple Watch app and the container app using App Groups, as this enables you to access all shared content, such as Core Data and even NSUSerdefaults.
You can then find the complete tutorial on how to do this under the following link.
Hope that helps, Julian.
